Hmmm...not my first post with this title... Had a little fun rewiring this tree over the weekend...2nd wiring
Chamaecyparis obtusa. Very old nursery stock grown too close together and never potted up from its one gallon container.
Tom Dimig container. 52" tall from the table top.

Wow!

You know I am really impressed with your work and this is no exception. Hinoli are no an easy tree to deal with in many ways, but you are certainly on the right track.

Good wiring but where did you find such a tall beanpole hinoki? Good to see you posting again, now get the YouTube videos flowing—Larry

I don't know exactly but I suspect more than 20 years.

Wow! Beautiful!

I love these tall sparse trees, such a natural representation of many different regions of North America.

 

[stoverock]

I really like it! How difficult to bend are the thicker branches?

My nursery gives me some, since they don't back bud, if they are too close together as he said, the branches die so literati is probably the only style. I have one now and it's not doing well but some beautiful trunk bark, I will see in spring. They have some 6' trees too I may give a try.
